Duskfire Glacier If he don't want me [J]

Malachi offered the boy a genuine smile, pleased to see his good sense. He knew some wolves would have refused his offer to rest, out of stubbornness or pride, and if he'd been in the same predicament, he'd have likely played the fool and skirted straight to work himself. The man gave a final nod. "Perfect. Then let's get you settled in." With a brisk flick of his tail, he beckoned young Adlartok to follow him further into the thicker area of the forest, toward the heart of Duskfire. Though their filling numbers meant more mouths to feed, they also meant more paws to help. There came a great safety with this thought and the man trusted he'd made no mistake in offering Adlartok a place among them.
